      Because it looks nicer and has more polish for desktop. Silent grub, for example.

      because I googled what distro to use and ubuntu was the one I picked randomly and I can’t be fucked to change it

      I assume I am a prototypical user in that regard.

      I tried Debian recently (with Cinnamon, since I don’t like Gnome), but I found it was lacking some polish and niceties that I get from Linux Mint. I do use LMDE instead of the Ubuntu base though.

      Because it installs proprietary goodies that make the laptop more functional

        My response to that is

        Not Anymore

        In the sense that woth Debian 12, proprietary drivers are included OOTB, so at this point, even that is no longer an argument against Debian.

      The same reason people buy the cereal their grocer places at eye-level, and buy their cars from the stealer: marketing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
